Web dull, but still essential...

Posted October 8, 2000 11:26 AM.

Another really brief snippet from BBC News: "Web is 'not quite as dull' as the Dome":

"The majority of those surveyed, 62%, thought that the phrase dot.com was wearing thin and even more, 66%, did not want to hear any more stories about 20-something millionaires who have made their money with the web.

But the boredom was not due to lack of interest. Over 77% of those questioned said they could not live without it.

"For many people the internet has become indispensable, it's as much a part of everyday life as the telephone, television and video," said an MSN spokeswoman, "It's no wonder people are bored with hype around the internet - you wouldn't want to talk about your vacuum cleaner in the pub." "
